In owners' own words
Vehicle accelerated while driving. The RPMs gage turned red; however, the vehicle stopped in the middle of the road with other cars coming. After the vehicle came to a full stop it would not move. Finally it started moving slowly and I was able to get off the road. When the tow truck arrived the vehicle would only go forward. No reverse. Error message on dashboard picture attached Engine
53,000 miles. While on highway, engine turned off completely. Coasted off the exit ramp into a parking lot. Engine started again with no issue. 2 days later: engine started knocking very loudly. Vehicle completely died while driving on street. No start, no crank, couldn't shift to neutral. Dash would turn on, but that was it. Engine
